HM is building the most powerful pack to ever play the game. Stephanie has the mobility to play 7 in the Bok system....leaving the really powerful men Eben, Bakkies and Flip Flop the Block to lock the scrum.
Stephanie as a blindside flank for an NH RWC

Good idea - he will be better than the snail slow Alberts. B ut despite the hype am not certain that Bakkies is a good idea. His performances and stats show a rather below-par player and he will be no better n two years time.

No one's taking Alberts' place.
It's just not going to happen ... so dream on boys.
Nay, by 2015 PSDT will be well entrenched as Eben's lock partner. Never been a fan of locks moving to flank. We have more than enough quality loosies to select from. Alberts is the incumbent, its time to introduce Elstadt as his back-up......he is big abrasive and uncompromising.
Hell Bakkies is struggling to make a positive impact as a 34 year old imagine what he will be like in 2 years..........no way in hell.
By WC Etzebeth and PSDT should be well on the road to establishing themselves as possibly the best locking pair ever.........with the likes of Flip, de Jager and Willemse as back-ups
Size is irrelevant if you have no talent!!
I doubt he'll ever be in the picture. He's never shown anything special other than racking up a large penalty count.
Besides we have Etzebeth, PSDT, Bekker, Flip and Bakkies. The lock position is pretty much covered.
